We move on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Wendat (Huron-Wendat), Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Métis Nation.

We honor the ancestral homelands of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, which includes the Mohawk (Kanien’kehá:ka), Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora Nations. We also acknowledge the Shinnecock, Munsee Lenape, and other Indigenous peoples who foster deep connections to the land and water.

We acknowledge the ancestral lands of the Querandíes, Puelches, Guaraní, and other Indigenous groups of the Pampas.

The lands and watersheds we share today—including the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River, Hudson River, Finger Lakes, Paraná River, and Río de la Plata—are imbued with deep spiritual, cultural, and environmental significance to these nations. 

We acknowledge the ongoing consequences of colonization that disproportionately harm Indigenous, queer, trans and Two-Spirit people. We express our respect and gratitude to the Indigenous peoples in our company and communities who continue to protect these lands, waters, and ecosystems, and who bear the burden of history today. We are grateful to live, work, and learn on this land.
